Spanish side UD Levante unveiled new signing Raphael Dwamena on Monday ahead of the start of the La Liga season.

The 23-year-old signed a four-year deal last week, he signed the permanent deal after completing formalities.

The Ghana international has joined the Spanish side after leaving Swiss side FC Zurich.

The Ghana international has been presented to the club's fans ahead of the new season.

Dwamena is expected to form a deadly partnership with international teammate Emmanuel Boateng when he recovers from an ankle injury.

The future of the Ghanaian had been hugely speculated with a number of clubs in Europe reportedly interested in his signature.

But Levante stole the march off their competitors by snapping the Ghanaian on a long-term deal.

English side Brighton & Hove Albion renewed their interest in the striker after failing to sign him in the January transfer due to fitness concerns.

The Black Star scored 13 goals and provided 12 assists in 36 competitive games for FC Zurich last season.
